RING OF COMBAT RESULTS

New York City, New York- January 27, 2006-Another sell out crowd filled the Capitale Friday night for the latest installment of New York City's premier kick boxing show.

Promoter Louis Neglia put together a massive 17 bout fight card this evening which produced plenty of action but also felt like a marathon by bout 14 as the event went on well past 1:00am.

The competition was fierce through out the night as some of the best local fight teams squared off this evening.

Team TSK's Katlyn Chookagian upset defending women's WKA Northeast Champion Andrea DeAngelo, the TSK fighter is now the new WKA Northeast women's title holder.

Julio Flores defended his regional 153lb title for the first time against the very tough Frenchman Boris Vuiton. Vuiton's stiff jab & reach created some difficulty for Flores but his aggressive ring control & solid punching led him to victory. 

The match between Team Extreme's Jarrell Miller & Weapon's 9's Jim Smith appeared to be a mismatch based on physical appearance. Smith was ripped, a true physical speciman; while Miller appeared to be shedding quite a bit of weight and was a bit on the flabby side. The Extreme Lacosta fighter was not intimidated by his muscular opponent. The two big men went to war for three rounds with "king kong killer" Miller pulling out the split decision victory. Do not judge a book by it's cover.

The main event of the evening was a rematch between Team Extreme's Terrence "Big T" Connor & former Champion Derrick Riddick out of the Wat Gym. Riddick was not taking Connor lightly this time as he came out swinging for the KO during the first round and actually had Connor reeling at the end of the first round. Lacosta settled his fighter down at the end of the round and sent Connor out to defend his belt. "Big T" did not disappoint, the remaining crowd was on the edge of their seats as both men traded blows all over the ring. It was Connor who landed the finishing strikes in the second round and KO'D Riddick to retain his belt in dramatic fashion.

THE FUTURE OF OUR SPORTS CAN BE SEEN IN "JUNIOR FIGHTERS" EVENT

The first "JUNIOR FIGHTERS" event was held in October 2004. On May 21, 2005, USKBA ACTION SPORTS Promoter World Champion Louis Neglia (see photo at left) held his second "JUNIOR FIGHTERS" event. This time, the amateur Junior bouts in Thaiboxing and Full Contact Kickboxing, were held at the spacious New Brunswick Boxing Gym in New Brunswick, New Jersey. By the success of the first two "JUNIOR FIGHTERS" events, there should be many more to come. In fact Promoter Louis Neglia says "I want to do four of these events each year" (in addition to his "RING OF COMBAT" and "COMBAT AT THE CAPITALE" events). How does one measure 'success' when all the competitors are under the age of 18? The answer is simple. By the look on the fighters' faces before and after the event. Although some go home disappointed, their training studios put the emphasis on gaining 'ring experience'. Win, lose or draw, the experience that is gained by competing on one of these events can never be simply taught in the classroom. All competitors come away winners. These "JUNIOR FIGHTERS" are not sitting on the sidelines...they are in the ring gaining valuable experience. These "JUNIOR FIGHTERS" are the future of the sport.

The time and number of rounds of the bouts vary by the age of the competitors. For the youngest competitors, a typical bout can be 2 one minute rounds not scored. It can then go up to 2 one and a half minute rounds graduating to 3 two minute rounds that are scored. It any event, the action is second to none. Competitors on "JUNIOR FIGHTERS" events give their all and the audience members are most enthusiastic.

The results are as follows:
Thaiboxing
KATLYN CHOOKAGIAN (16 yrs old) def Andrea DeAngelo (17 yrs old) by split decision.
Thaiboxing
RAUL GONZALEZ (13 yrs old) def Vivek Singh (14 yrs old) by unanimous decision.
Thaiboxing
BRANDON HAZE (17 yrs old) def Charlie Otero (15 yrs old) by unanimous decision.

d'AUGUSTE AND GABERT RETAIN TITLES ON "RING OF COMBAT 8"

To all the fans that braved the cold and windy atmosphere of the old summer resort area of Asbury Park on New Jersey's shore, the end justified the means. On March 19, 2005, they came to the Asbury Park Convention Hall to see a top notch MMA event and they left content.

In the Main Event, scheduled for three 5 minute rounds, Ring of Combat/USKBA MMA Welterweight Champion LAURA d'AUGUSTE went against ROXANNE MODAFFERI. Modafferi was coming off an impressive win. d'Auguste was coming off a successful title defense. On paper, Modafferi seemed to be d'Auguste's toughest opponent to date. This provided to be true as this bout went the distance. At the end of three 5 minute rounds, the unanimous decision went to Laura d'Auguste, who retains her Ring of Combat/USKBA MMA Welterweight Championship Title.

In the Featured Bout, scheduled for three 5 minute rounds, Ring of Combat/USKBA MMA Cruiserweight Champion JAMES GABERT squared off against DAVID PORTER. It had been some time since Gabert's last title defense. Gabert is one of the toughest fighters in his weight division. Porter, with an undefeated amateur record, came into the fight confident that he could hang with Gabert and possibly take the title from him. Gabert proved to be too much for Porter. This bout was over at 3:25 of Round 1 as Gabert applied armbar and kept the pressure on forcing Porter to tapout. Gabert retains his Ring of Combat/USKBA MMA Cruiserweight Championship Title.

Two Bombardiers from Japan compete at the Capitale (A landmark site in NYC) A spectacular show in a spectacular place! The honors belong to Louis Neglia, Promoter, and the Palatial Capitale in New York City, site of Neglia's splendid February 11th kickboxing event. It was the perfect showcase for glory. Action and space were an ideal fit. An architecht whose life was featured in James Cagney's final film, Ragtime, built the Capitale in the 19th century. Corinthian columns, venetian glass, marble mosaic floors and sixty-five feet high ceilings make it look like a grand gold temple styled in the best of taste with a genuinely awesome atmosphere. The 40,000 square foot Capitale was sold out and packed with wildly enthusiastic fans who witnessed a night of the most dramatic and skilled Kickboxing and Muay Thai imaginable. The quality of the action was remarkebly consistent, considering there were 14 battles, professional and amateur, of men and women in many weight divisions. Fighting enginuity and brave hearts were in evidence all night. This is one of those rare instances of a claim that sounds too good to be true being nonetheless valid. Had an exit poll been taken of the fans leaving the Calitale after the show, it would have reflected a uninanimous sense that a finer display of athleticism and artistry in Martial Arts is simply not available anywhere else. Some of the contests were intensely anticipated for years. Two of Japan's most powerful fighters made the ten thousand mile trip for what they knew was the chance of a lifetime These were the results of the WKA USKBA sanctioned event: Results:
Thai Boxing DIMITRY SHIRGANOV def Corey Miller by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Thai Boxing MARCOS ANTEBI def Luke Lang by TKO at 1:24 of Round 3 (doctor stoppage due to nose injury).
Thai Boxing KENT MARTIN def Alan Nyrthel by majority decision (28-27, 28-28, 28-27) Full Contact Kickboxing MICHELLE BUZAN def Adina Lopez by TKO at 2:00 of Round 1.
Full Contact Kickboxing CARL BEAMS def Chris Suder by TKO at 1:08 of Round 2 (referee stoppage). Thai Boxing SOFIA GEGOVIC def Andrea DeAngelo by unanimous decision (30-26, 30-26, 30-26).
Thai Boxing JOE DIABLE def Mike Saracino by KO at 1:18 of Round 1. Full Contact Kickboxing NICK MALTA def Steven Castelli by unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27). Thai Boxing MOHAMED ARMED def Andrew Wilson by split decision (28-29, 28-27, 28-28).
